What is SharePoint?
SharePoint is about giving you and the people you work with a better way to get things done together. Over three quarters of Fortune 500 companies use SharePoint, but not all are using it for the same thing. SharePoint is the place to share ideas, content and the vision of your company. It’s scale-able enough to organize and manage all your information assets but it’s also designed to organize and store documents to enable personal productivity, keep teams in sync, and projects on track. It’s where you go to discover experts, share knowledge and uncover connections to information and people. It’s a hub for developers to build and deploy modern apps and for designers to build eye-catching websites. Finally, SharePoint has been built to handle almost anything our customers can throw at it so IT Pros can spend more time managing information, delivering innovation and manage their time effectively.
